Umbrella
 Totes Titanium Auto-Open/Close Umbrella, Black $25.00 I've been looking for a small umbrella with both automatic open and close and this one totally fits the bill. I particulalry love the automatic closing so I don't get wet closing it. The titanium spokes haven't been tested yet but the other reviewers gave those high marks as well so i expect it to perform well in the wind. i am going to Europe on a 3 week trip and it is exactly what I wanted to take with me.  Totes Auto Open/Close Superdome Umbrella, Black $25.00 Tom's Wife: I tend to be very particular and am difficult to shop for. My daughter gave me this umbrella as a gift. GREAT umbrella! Also special, I am sure; because she bought it for me. I used it once in awhile, however several months later, I traveled to Europe on business for almost two weeks. This umbrella was a lifesaver! I took it EVERYWHERE. It rained daily. The mesh carrying case has an elastic strap that you can sling over your shoulder like a purse. This allows the umbrella to weightlessly hang in the crevice between your arm and torso. You are totally hands free. The umbrella is tucked in an area where it does not interfere with your movements or even a purse hanging on the same shoulder! It is very light weight while having a large area of coverage at the same time. I had the opportunity and COVERAGE to share the dome with many colleagues, who also remarked on what a great umbrella this was. Most of the time, I didn't even know it was there. No need to cram it in my large purse, which left space for other nescessities. Unfortunately, I recently turned my electric baseboard heater on, not remembering that was where I last laid my 'Special' umbrella. The handle assembly melted :( I am SO happy to have found the same umbrella and will surely purchase AT LEAST one! Thinking about sending my European colleagues a few.....  GustBuster Classic 48-Inch Automatic Golf Umbrella (Navy) $34.95 Not as large as a golf umbrella, but big enough for one person. I use this too as a "sun" umbrella since it looks summery. The quality is great and it opens quite easily and quickly at the push of a button. It's also very attractive.
